Patient Care Unit


Acute care--- provides care and treatment for the illness or injury

Observation of patients---provides more diagnostics or evaluation to determine if the patient needs to be admitted

Swing bed care---Without transferring, patient can stay in the same bed to receive either skilled nursing care or acute care, as needed. Skilled nursing care offers the necessary medical and nursing care needed for a patient who does not require the specialized services of an acute care hospital stay, especially when the patient requires nursing or rehabilitation staff to manage care.
